Thanksgiving Weekend

I was so thankful for the Thanksgiving weekend. Usually we get together with family, have a big feast and spend time with each other. This year however we were a family divided and unable to celebrate together. So our little family had Thanksgiving lunch on our own.

Thankful for the bounties we have.
Not the fanciest of feasts some may be use to but it was a very nice lunch for us.
Thankful for our family and friends.
After cleaning up we went up to my parent's place. We met some friend for a great afternoon. We all swam, played games and ate dessert together. Everything pumpkin and everything was great.
That night we all slept at Grammy and Grandpa's house. It didn't take long for everyone to be down for the count.


Thankful for time we have to spend with each other.
Friday, I was able to take the boys to the "park" for a bit. Now I must explain. Our "park" is actually the driving course for the Office of Motor Vehicles. The boys love to go down there and ride their bikes. So that is what we did.
The boys had fun racing each other and then just showing off for the camera. Fun times.
Thankful for the little things.
Saturday I went paddling. When I came home from paddling I found my baby fast asleep on the hard wood floor snuggling a ball. The boys told me he was so tired and fussy but when they tried to take the ball from him he would not let it go. So he fussed until he finally fell asleep clutching the ball.
It was a wonderful weekend and nice to reflect on the blessings we are all thankful for.
